How does that fit into the picture? For the god-bothering Fullers, it makes perfect sense - the story of Jesus and his carpentry is a very old primal story. But the fact that the Bible sometimes has to be omitted suggests that it's a foreign element in an otherwise homgenous brand. Either this is a 'housing is a right' program, or its a 'let's do good Christian works' program. But it can only be both among God-fearing communities. And since countries like Nepal (mentioned in the story above) are 90% Hindu, the program looks like proselytising. But the Bible handover? How does that fit into the picture?

For the god-bothering Fullers, it makes perfect sense - the story of Jesus and his carpentry is a very old primal story.

But the fact that the Bible sometimes has to be omitted suggests that it’s a foreign element in an otherwise homgenous brand.

Either this is a ‘housing is a right’ program, or its a ‘let’s do good Christian works’ program. But it can only be both among God-fearing communities. And since countries like Nepal (mentioned in the story above) are 90% Hindu, the program looks like proselytising.
